Tea party leader expelled over 'racist' rant

Shirley Sherrod, USDA Rural Development Georgia State Director, delivered at the NAACP's 20th Annual Freedom Fund Banquet speaking of racial considerations being a factor for how much help she would give:

"The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he took a long time talking but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing, but he had come to me for help. What he didn't know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me was, I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him," Sherrod said.

"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough," Sherrod said. "So that when he, I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him."

Sherrod also spoke of referring the white farmer to a white lawyer, thinking the latter would be more sympathetic because of race.

"So I took him to a white lawyer that had attended some of training that we had provided because Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farm. So I figured if I take him to one of them, that his own kind would take care of him."

The NAACP had no immediate response Monday afternoon.

That is pretty hardcore racism. She should be fired immediately.
 
Quote from achilles28:

How old are you? Mid-20's? Just graduated college with a liberal arts diploma?

You sound a little green there, bud.

The question was not how old I am, nor was it about my considerable education, this is diversion.

The question was, how did all those murderous blacks get their weapons, and where did the drugs that they kill each other over come from?

Do you or do you not have an answer for this question?
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Washington, DC spends somethng like $14k per school kid on education,among the highest in the nation. The education system is a disgrace. Schools are dysfunctional and violent. The dropout rate is astronomical, and those that do graduate are barely literate for the most part. The system is run entirely by african american politicians.

Who gets the blame?

DC, Detroit, Atlanta, just about every major inner city has these stats. And yes, they are all black.

So, ask yourself AAA, do you want to be a Joe Clark, or would you rather tell your friends about your house in burbs and the benz you drive while making 6 figures?

Education is a corporation, and in every corporation most of the middle managers go along to get along. Who cares about those little hood rats anyways?

...for the most part, with some exceptions, I'd say they're stolen firearms.

Does whitey force those "murderous blacks" to steal and buy stolen weapons?

:D Too damn funny.
The stupidity of your statement in question implies either a precocious 4 year old or your considerable education * was wasted on a fool.




* A chimp who attends Harvard for 8 yrs is still going to be shit flinging chimp as an adult.

So basically it's still whitey's fault? Is that he best you can come up with?

Nope, not what I said, and I can always spot familial upbringing by the fact that the lower working classes are quite unable to differentiate the illusion of race conflict from class conflict.

There has never been actual race conflict in this country. It has always been about where one fits in regarding one's net worth. African Americans also owned slaves.

My point, and Im surprised you missed it actually, AAA, is that if one is making 6 figs, they are quite unconcerned about urban blight. It is a means to an end. Those principals feel no more connected to their students than you do to your neighbor's cat.

Take your average politician, who has absolutely nothing in common with 90 percent of their constituency. They are populist during the election cycle. After talking up the little man, they get back in their luxury auto of choice, go back to their gated community of choice and get their kids ready to go their private school of choice in the morning.

All this crap is to foment confusion amongst those able to be confused, and nothing more.

Considering that I am quite certain that you never came close to an Ivy, and got whatever education you have from city college, I would have to say that you are guessing about chimps, and Harvard.

Your class envy is showing, you might want to cover that up.:p

And you still have not answered any questions relevant to the discussion, which I doubt you can. If you missed them, go back and read up, if that is possible for you.

That would imply a tremendous amount of irresponsibility on the part of registered gun owners, and would imply that gun owners have a predilection for semiautomatics....are you sure you want to stick with that hypothesis?
